Has anyone been on Calquence. How is it compares to Imbruvica?

Why the sudden interest in Acalabrutinb/Calquence after 3 years on Ibrutinib? How are your nodes and blood counts now?

I switched from ibrutinib to calquence because the form severely aggravated my osteoporosis arthritis. No side effects with calquence.

Wifey was on Ibrutinib for 5 years. Pain (Arthralgia) got slowly worse over those years. Switched to Calquence 8 months ago. Pain much better. Other side effects still the same.

I was on Imbruvica for almost 10 months. Shortly after starting it I developed red painful swellings under the skin that would go away 2 to 4 weeks later. It wasnt until about 9 months into it that a pharmacist found out what they were. Panniculitis and it occurs in less than 1% of people on Imbruvica. Then near the end of my treatment with imbruvica I developed blisters on 8 of my 10 fingers. Remarkably painful. That same pharmacist called my oncologist about both situations and got him to stop the drug. I also had lots of musculoskeletal pain for the entire time on it.

I started acalabrutinib a week ago and have only headaches, which are pretty bad, but that's all so far. I'm not sure which is worse, the treatment or the disease.
